Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have fever, cold and cough in a child which is due to upper respiratory tract infection. Maxtra and levolin syrup as given to child is a safe combination except it will make child drowsy. I would suggest you to consult pediatrician for proper examination as infection has already spread. You should get throat swab test , viral culture test , complete blood profile to find out extent of infection. You should start with antibiotic such as augmentin along with decongestants and anti inflammatory such as Levocetrizine . For now do warm saline gargles. Take steam inhalation. Take proper rest , keep yourself hydrate. Maintain hygiene. Take diet rich in multivitamins.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
